1982 Lincoln cent- rim is doubled. Good find or fairly common???

Not sure how significant this error is?

That occurs when the Die that is used to strike the blank planchets becomes worn.
Nothing major.

 

Ok thank you. I’m learning... :/

 

Called a Ridge Ring from more extreme die deterioration

This is a great indicator found on any coin for die deterioration. You'll see all variants of it as you look.

 

Cool. Thanks. I’ve found... something at least. Yay!

 

This one has almost no ring on the reverse? What do you think??

 

Think about what?

 

Is it a valid or collectible coin error? Is it insignificant and common?? Thank you for helping me. I’m as new to this as it gets. Thirsty for knowledge and needing lots of patient help. Much appreciated.

I posted another picture of a different rim error on this thread.

 

it's a 57 years old cent .. worn in circulation.
Imagine driving a car for 57 years ...

 

…...without an oil change, tune-up or new tires!

Omg!!

 

Chris, does it look like a broad strike? Half of the rim is missing.

 

No! See the link below.

Ridge ring and it's very common, especially on Zinc Cents.
